You can use the forcible redirect feature to redirect the original requests from a client to edge nodes as HTTP or HTTPS requests. This topic describes how to configure the forcible redirect feature.

Prerequisites

An HTTPS certificate is configured before you configure the forcible redirect feature. For more information, see Enable HTTPS secure acceleration.

Feature description

If you have enabled HTTPS secure acceleration for domain names for CDN, you can forcibly redirect the original requests from clients by customizing the redirect type.

Assume that you set the Redirect Type parameter to HTTP > HTTPS. When a client initiates an HTTP request, the server returns a 301 response to redirect the request to the HTTPS version of the web page. The following figure shows an example.
